Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

This is a procedure for resolving the problems associated with multiple paragraph formats for a document in a word processing environment on a data processing system. In general, an operator is able to change the margins of a paragraph and the changes will apply to the text up to the definition of the next formatting line. This technique becomes very tedious if there are multiple paragraph formats in a document. Most documents do have multiple paragraph formats and these formats, may be defined for use by any one of a number of terminals at a particular installation.

Interactive Paragraphing of Multiple Formats in a Word Processing
Document

This is a procedure for resolving the problems associated with multiple
paragraph formats for a document in a word processing environment on a data
processing system. In general, an operator is able to change the margins of a
paragraph and the changes will apply to the text up to the definition of the next
formatting line. This technique becomes very tedious if there are multiple
paragraph formats in a document. Most documents do have multiple paragraph
formats and these formats, may be defined for use by any one of a number of
terminals at a particular installation. To resolve the problem associated with
multiple paragraph formats, the following functions must be available: (a) to
assign formats to data already keyed as unformatted or keyed in a different
format, (b) to use the definition of formats provided in a master document, (c) to
support a large number of different paragraph formats with a very flexible
definition including, for example, reversed indentation, and, (d) the ability to
change a format definition and have all of the paragraphs of that format change
correspondingly. It must be possible to assign paragraph formats to text as it is
keyed or to be able to assign the formats later. As shown in the display of Fig. 1,
there are two paragraphs and both are assigned paragraph format "1". This is
denoted by putting a highlighted number in the left margin which is actually a line
command keying area. A number there signifies that the editor recognizes this
as a paragraph, and it follows the definition of that format. If the operator does
something to the text so that it doesn't follow the format any more, the editor will
drop the assignment and the number will be re...
